Frequently asked questions
What is the sensor's typical sensitivity?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is calibrated for professional polysomnography (PSG) use, providing precise specifications for reliable integration with compatible recording systems.The typical sensitivity settings for polygraph equipment are:* Sensitivity Range: 20 to 75 µV/mm* Typical Signal Amplitude: Approximately 1 mV peak to peak. (Note: This amplitude is variable based on snore magnitude, patient characteristics, and equipment configuration.)The sensor’s system typically utilizes the following filtering to optimize respiratory sound capture:* Low Frequency Filter: 20 Hz* High Frequency Filter: 500 Hz
Is the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor placement-tolerant?
Yes, the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is designed to be placement tolerant, minimizing errors that might occur from slight variations in sensor positioning. This makes it more user-friendly and reliable for consistent data collection during sleep studies.
Is the sensor compatible with major PSG equipment?
Yes, the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is designed for broad compatibility and integrates easily into professional sleep study environments. It connects directly to the AC jack box (low level channel) on compatible recorders.
The sensor works with Polysomnography (PSG) systems from all major manufacturers, including:
- Carefusion: SensorMedics Viasys, Somnostar z4
- Cadwell: Easy III
- CompuMedics: Grael HD PSG, Somte, E Series
- Natus: Sandman 32, Sandman 20, Xltek, Biologic, Grass, Stellate
- Nihon Kohden: Polysmith
- NeuroVirtual: BWII PSG, BWIII PSG/EEG
What reliable sensor technology is used?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor utilizes dynamic sound pickup technology, which is encased in TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material. This professional-grade technology is specifically engineered to register vibrations transmitted through the skin, capturing snoring and other respiratory sounds. The sensor then converts these signals into a reliable, low-level analog voltage signal for use with standard AC channels on compatible polysomnography (PSG) equipment.
What are the optimal polygraph settings for this sensor?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is engineered to integrate seamlessly with professional polysomnography (PSG) systems, utilizing an AC jack box connection (low level channel).
The typical recommended operating settings for compatible polygraph systems are:
- Sensitivity: 20 to 75 μV/mm
- Low Frequency Filter: 20 Hz
- High Frequency Filter: 500 Hz
This dynamic sensor converts respiratory vibrations into an analog voltage signal, typically generating an amplitude of approximately 1 mV peak to peak. Please note that the actual signal amplitude is variable, depending on the magnitude of the snore, neck density, patient position, and the specific polygraph system used.
Does the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor require batteries?
No, the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor does not require batteries. It connects directly to an AC jack box for power and signal transmission.
Does the sensor use a standard AC channel?
Yes, the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is designed for simple, professional integration with compatible polysomnography (PSG) equipment. It connects directly to the AC jack box (low level) channel on the polygraph system. It converts the detected respiratory sounds into a reliable, low-level analog voltage signal for accurate recording. Furthermore, it benefits from Passive Operation, meaning it requires no internal batteries for use.
Is the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor comfortable for patients to wear during sleep studies?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is lightweight and soft, ensuring patient comfort during sleep studies. Its design minimizes discomfort while accurately capturing respiratory sounds.
Is the SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor available for home use?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor is intended for professional use only and can only be sold by or on the order of a physician. This ensures proper usage and interpretation of the data collected.
How does this snore sensor accurately detect sounds?
The SleepSense Dynamic Snore Sensor accurately detects sounds through dynamic sound pickup technology embedded in TPE material. This allows it to: * Capture Vibrations: Register subtle vibrations and respiratory sounds directly from the skin. * Convert to Analog Signal: Convert these vibrations into a reliable analog voltage signal (typically 1 mV peak to peak) for compatible medical recorders. * Ensure High Sensitivity: Provide very good sensitivity across a wide frequency range, filtered between 20 Hz and 500 Hz for comprehensive data. * Offer Ease of Use: Operate passively without batteries, connecting directly to an AC jack box, and tolerating minor placement errors.
